I pronounce it Free-Core, because Fry-Core sounds like a fast food supplier, and frei means free.

Alright, fair enough.

I have two painted crews, but one of them isn't listed on the form, does it have to be two crews from the form? I have Von Schill and Viktoria, I've been thinking about Perdita or Lady Justice, and I'll have two fully-painted crews (I used to play 40k, hammering out 5 or 6 well-painted figures takes almost no time for me) on that list when I figure out which one I want to play, but I was wanting to put in to be a henchman now.

Pretty simple, because plushies are easier to mass produce: all of them, at once.

Well, to be fair, he is a Tyrant, someone supposedly powerful enough to conquer nations on his own. Viktoria only got one shot at him before his manifestation gave up the ghost, if it hadn't quit so quickly, she probably could have killed him. Typically someone who wrecks an deity so hard their physical form says "nuts to this, I'm out" is more than powerful enough to smack him down the next time he tries to walk on the mortal plane with his chin out. Considering all that they've tried on him, I'd call that a great success, they actually have a weapon that can hurt him now, and it's in the hands of someone who can wield it incredibly well. Something that almost never happens in fiction. Not killing him outright is a minor set back.

Now I know you are supposed to read them in order, book 1, 2, 3 etc., but why does it feel like parts of book 2 and 3 feel like they happened before book 1? Specifically the part with Candy and Pandora looking for a human powerful enough to take on the Tyrants? Especially when the Neverborn already ran into at least 1 very good candidate, in the form of Viktoria? She struck down December. Yes, he wasn't dead but she ended his manifestation with a single strike. That's very impressive. Mostly, I'd like the date of the start of the first book.

I played a game against Criid, using the Viks. I wish I'd remembered the witchling stalkers exploded when they died, I might have been able to win the game instead of getting a tie. I had gotten the Deliver a message scheme, which was pants as it turns out, because trying to stand next to her for an entire activation, with anyone, is crazy-talk.

I want my Viks avatar! Yes it looks like it will be a pain in the butt to deal with, but I want to get my murder on.

Well, yeah, the important part of what I was saying is this: when the Tyrants (or H.P.Lovecrafts gods for that matter) wake up, they aren't unkillable, they don't get to win outright, because there are weapons which can strike them down again. They have to fight for their victory just like everyone else and hope that the Masamune, and the other weapons like it, are lost to the mortals. Except the god that the universe is built on, but he's actually dead, not that it's ever stopped a god before.

Silliness involving politics aside. Here's my view on things: each faction is all over the map, for example, in the outcasts, we have the Viks, who are but a single event away from being the heroic fantasy character archetype, and Leveticus, a steampunk necromancer, someone widely considered incredibly evil. A better choice would be The Guild, who have the Death Judges, an in-arguably good force, then there's the rest of The Guild, who are a bunch of dirt-bags, at best. Some portions of the Neverborn are jerks, look at the ones who attacked Viktoria, inevitably giving her a Doppelganger, and then there's Lilith, the leader of the Neverborn, who is just trying to get rid of these human invaders, but she's also willing to work with them if it means keeping the Tyrants down.

That's merely what the fans have turned them in to over the century. Only a handful of the most powerful ones are powerful enough to end the world outright, most of them will keel over if you bring the right guns to bear. Assuming of course you are dealing with what H.P. Lovecraft wrote, and not what the fans wrote. For example: in Call of Cthulhu, Cthulhu himself is rammed by a yacht, a vessel typically between 26 and 39 feet long, but they can get up to 197 feet long, and Cthulhu was put back to sleep by getting hit by this ship. Or whatever, it's poorly described, "He also thinks that Cthulhu, whilst restoring his broken head, was dragged down again with the sinking city, thus keeping humanity safe until the next time, when the stars are right" Same with the Tyrants, December was knocked down by Viktoria in the first book. You see what I mean by right weapon?

I'll take a plushie as well.

Oh, okay. Thanks. I run the Viks, so I don't really get a choice but to have them.

I've seen several of them, but I've never seen a use, so it kinda makes me think it's just glitter on the weapon. I kinda hope it's something like "Allows you to hit incorporeal creatures and gives a +1 cb vs everyone else."
